wide Awake for 1857

Half dozen years ago il seemed impos-
sible for Vide A,c0ke to be more beautiful or
more attractive, yet year after year it has
gone on, adding new features and developing
old ones until it seems at last excellence can
no further go. Its wealth of stories, sketches,
poetry and illustrations furnish an mex
haustible reservoir of entertainment and
instruction for the members Of the family
circle, old as well as young, and its monthly
visit is like a ray of golden sunshine in the
household. Wide indke fills every demand
for a first class magazine for children in the
way of amusement, solid valuable reading,
stimulating thoughts and suggestions and
artistic illustrations. The Christmas (Dec.)
issue is particularly fine. 1t contains about
a hundred pages crammed with reading
matter and pictures. Price 20 cents. The
yearly subscription price has been reduced
to $40 n year from $500, while the
magazine will be made more attractive than
ever. ID. LoTHRoP d CO.. Publishers, Boston.

Young people in the dance of all the
nations, are chaperoned by Mrs. Fol-
som. mother of Mrs. President Cieve-

dance is considered the most striking
Mrs. Commissioner Black in charge
of that. The ladies who attend as

Our law makers are working very
industriously, as this is short scs-
sion and they have not much time to
waste. Some of our NJ. C.'s have
their meals furnished them by ca
terer, and when they get to them they
arc none too hot, and are often eaten
hastily in the midst of hard work
their MSS. pushed aside, the meals
placed on the same table, the table
cloth looking as-if it had not been to
n laundry for some time. Still that
is an improvement ON fifty years ago
when most of them messed in squads,
and the friendship of their mess-mates
lasted for years.

The ". S. Senatorship.

Senator Camden was on Wednes-
day night nominated for u. S. Sena-
tor by caucus of Thirty-cight Dem
ecrats. Democrats not entering the
caucus were Senators Price, Of Min
eral; Flournoy, of Hampshire; Price,
Of Marshal, and Switzer, of Putnam.
and Delegates Byrne, of Braxton ;
Chambers, of Lincoln; Chew, Of JEFF
ferson; Chiplcy, of Hardy; Lucas,
Of jefferson; McClung. of Green
brier; Pugh, of Hampshire. and Sy-
denstricker, of Grecnbricr. Kinsey,
of Marion, stated that while he had
answered to his name he did not in
tend to participate in the delibera-
tions of the caucus.
Senator Price, the President OF the
State Senate, who refused to go into
the Democratic Caucus, has furnished
a statement. in which he says: "Mr.
Davis, 1 feel sure, will not approve
of my action in not going into eau
ems, but am responsible for my ac-
ton, and not Mr.. Davis or any other
man.. I came here expecting to go
into caucus, and would have done so
if things had been left 10 take their
natural course, and members left free
to vote for Senator without dictation
OF other improper influences. But
the methods used here in Mr.. Cam
s.interest are so contrary to Dem
ocratic principles that ! am satisfied
the interests of the party demand
that they be resisted by those who
have the welfare of the party and the
country at heart. At the same time
I do not intend to enter into any com
bination with Republicans or to take
any action that will enable them to
even dictate the Senator"
The Republican caucus. Saturday
night, decided to vote for Messrs.
Golf, Flick, Brown and Mclean, in
the order named.

Two Trains Partially Wrecked

AS No. 1 southbound Express train
on the S. V. II. R., due here at 7 40,
P. NJ, approached the B. & O. grade
crossing at the edge of Charlestown,
last Wednesday evening, B. & O..
freight train was crossing, and the
Express was accordingly signaled by
the Waterman to stop. The air brakes,
however, failed to work, and instead
of speed being reduced quick enough,
the Express went laundering on and
into lot of empty coal hoppers mid
way of the freight train. Five Of
these hoppcrs were thrown from the
track of the 3. & O.. and n box car
partially deraiied. The S. V. en-
CINE passed right through the b. & o.
train and landed off the track and
down the bank on the south side of
the B & O., not very seriously dam
aged. Fortunately no one on either
train was injured, and it is said that
Mr.. Phillips, the Waterman, and Mr..
VIM. Wysong, who happened at the
time to be, standing with him, on the
south side of the road, didn't wait
long to consider the matter when they
found that the S. V. train was not
checking up as usual. Wrecllers were
put to work and The track cleared for
the passage of trains by 4 A. NJ, and
in few hours the removalof the en-
tire debris was accomplished.
